Does Pepboys change oxygen sensors?
Pep Boys REPLACE OXYGEN SENSOR.
When does an oxygen sensor need to be replaced?
As a rule, the service life of oxygen sensors in most 1996 and newer vehicles with OBD II should be 100,000 to 150,000 miles or more — assuming no problems that could cause the O2 sensors to fail prematurely. On pre-1996 vintage vehicles, the oxygen sensors were not as robust, and typically had a service life of 50,000 to 80,000 miles.
How does the oxygen sensor in a car work?
The amount of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas stream is proportionate to the air and fuel mixture being burned in the cylinders, a critical measure for performance, fuel economy and emissions. How Does it Work? Oxygen sensors are galvanic thimbles that act to compare the amount of oxygen in the exhaust with that in the outside or ambient air
When to reset the ECU after changing an O2 sensor?
Sometimes an O2 sensor fails, and you need to replace it. Once you’ve replaced your vehicle’s O2 sensor, you’ll need to reset the ECU so it can properly gather information from the new O2 sensor.
What does p1155 mean on an oxygen sensor?
Oxygen sensors (Air fuel ratio sensors) are a common problem on many vehicles. A P1155 or P1135 code indicates you have a bad sensor. This is common in Toyota and Lexus cars and trucks.

What causes a lean reading on an O2 sensor?
High (O2) content in exhaust equals a lean reading also causing engine misfires. There are also some other possibilities such as an internally leaking EGR system. This will typically set a separate code. A leak in the exhaust system before the (O2) sensor will also cause incorrect readings.
Where are the O2 sensors on a V-6 engine?
Modern vehicles with V-6 or V-8 engines could have as many as four O2 sensors — one located in each cylinder bank and one after each catalytic converter. If either the oxygen sensor in the cylinder block or the one for the catalytic converter fails, your vehicle could experience serious engine problems.
